The doctor gave her a stern glance. “Well, miss, if you want to be admitted, you need to pay. But after seeing your condition, I don’t think you can afford the treatment here!”
“But doctor, please…”
Before Anna could complete her sentence, the doctor cut her off. “Can you please stop shouting! I don’t care whether you die in pain! Remember, no money, no treatment. And if you continue acting like this, I will kick you out of here!”
Anna was about to give birth on the doorstep. She thought of requesting the doctor once again, but before she could say anything, he slammed the clinic door in her face and went inside.
Dejected, Anna decided to go to another hospital. However, the pain was so intense that she couldn’t move a bit. So she just sat there, gripping her stomach and looking for someone to assist her.
Luckily, a kind doctor came out of the clinic and offered her help. “Please come with me, ma’am,” he told Anna as he approached her. “I’ll save your child no matter what!” With that, the doctor escorted her inside, set up a separate ward for her, and ensured that Anna’s delivery went smoothly.
Not long after, Anna delivered a baby boy, but the baby was premature and had to be placed in the NICU immediately.
Poor Anna was so exhausted after the delivery that she didn’t wake up until the next morning when she discovered the obnoxious doctor by her side. “What the hell? Since when did this clinic start admitting beggars like you?!” He looked at her angrily.
“Anyway, It’s not too late to clean the mess. So get up and get out of the hospital!” he added and started “escorting” Anna out of the hospital.
Luckily, at that moment, the kind doctor, Dr. Paul Warner, came in. “Dr. Morgan, what are you doing? She gave birth yesterday, and she’s still weak!” he retorted.
Dr. Morgan gave a fierce glance to Dr. Warner. “Stay out of this, Paul! I’m your senior, and I know what’s best for the clinic. We can’t admit her without the fees! That’s a rule!”
“If that’s the case, I’ll pay her fees,” Dr. Warner said firmly. “But I’m not letting her leave until she and her baby recover completely!”
Dr. Morgan burst out laughing. “You’re such a knucklehead, Paul. I don’t think your bank account will allow it!”
“You don’t need to worry about that doctor,” Dr. Warner continued. “I will pay the bills by tomorrow morning. Mark my words!”
“Alright! But if you’re not able to pay the fees, I’ll kick her out,” Dr. Morgan almost yelled and walked away.
The next day, Anna was on her way to the washroom when she met Dr. Morgan again. “I checked with the accounts department, and the payment hasn’t been made. So pack your bags and get out of this place ASAP!” he ordered her.
“Doctor, just give me until the afternoon. My husband is on his way, and he’ll take care of everything,” Anna assured him.
Dr. Morgan sighed and rolled his eyes. “Do you really want me to believe that? Aren’t you just making up excuses so that you can stay here?”
“Well, doctor, if I’m making excuses, you can throw me out of here in the afternoon!” Anna said firmly and walked away.
To Dr. Morgans’ surprise, Anna’s husband actually showed up at the clinic that afternoon. But when Dr. Morgan saw him, he couldn’t believe his eyes!
“Mr. Carter, you?” he inquired, surprised.
“Yes, David. It’s me. My wife told me everything, and I can’t believe you treated a pregnant woman like that!”
It turned out that Anna was going to give birth in Germany, but her labor began early while her husband was away on a business trip. Anna considered approaching this luxury clinic for assistance because her husband was the primary sponsor there.
Since the pain was severe, she didn’t waste time changing her clothes and went there in her nightgown, forgetting her phone in the process. Dr. Warner kindly offered her his phone, allowing her to contact her husband.
When Dr. Morgan saw her outside the hospital, he mistook her for a poor woman and threatened to kick her out. But now that Dr. Morgan knew Anna wasn’t any random woman asking for help, he realized he had invited huge trouble for himself.
“I had no idea she was your wife, Sir,” Dr. Morgan said quietly. “I apologize for the mistreatment. ”
“How does it matter, David?” Mr. Carter almost yelled at him. “How can you behave like that with any pregnant woman!”
“Well, Sir. I won’t…”
Before Dr. Morgan could finish, Mr. Carter cut him off. “No, David. Nothing can explain what you did. And you should be punished for it. Therefore, I’m firing you! I hope this way you’ll learn your lesson.”
“But Sir, then the maternity ward won’t have a head doctor. Moreover, there aren’t many senior doctors here, and it may take the clinic some time to find one!” Dr. Morgan expressed his thoughts. “So, at the very least, let me stay here till then!”
Mr. Carter smiled at him. “You don’t need to worry about that, doctor! I have appointed someone as the head already,” he said and called Dr. Warner inside. “Let me introduce you to Dr. Warner, the new head.”
Dr. Morgan was shocked. “But Sir, he’s still young, and he’s inexperienced!”
“Well, he deserves to be a doctor and the head, considering how he decided to aid a pregnant woman without considering her status or whether she would have money!”
Dr. Morgan didn’t utter a word. He stood silently with his head bowed down.
Mr. Carter continued. “I don’t think you qualify as a doctor, David. A doctor would always try their best to save a patient! So, please leave and don’t come back here ever again!”
Dr. Morgan walked out of the clinic, embarrassed by what he’d done.

Entitled Couple Took My Premium Seat on the Plane – I Taught Them a Lesson and Turned It into a Profit
We’ve all been there—settling into a flight, ready for the journey ahead, when suddenly, something goes wrong. For me, that something was an entitled couple who thought they could bully me out of the premium seat I had carefully selected. Little did they know, they were messing with the wrong person. Here’s how I turned an infuriating situation into a satisfying victory and even walked away with a profit.
I had gone out of my way to secure a prime aisle seat with extra legroom, knowing it would make the long flight more bearable. As I settled in, feeling content with my choice, I noticed a couple approaching. At that moment, I had no idea that this interaction would lead to a lesson in standing up to entitlement.
The woman, dressed in designer clothes and exuding an air of entitlement, stopped next to me without so much as a greeting. Her husband, just as arrogant, stood behind her as she demanded that I switch seats with her. She claimed she had accidentally booked the wrong seat and couldn’t possibly sit away from her husband. Her tone made it clear that this wasn’t a polite request—it was an expectation.
I was taken aback by the audacity of her demand. When I hesitated, she rolled her eyes and dismissed me with a scoff, claiming that I didn’t really need the extra space. Her husband chimed in, urging me to be “reasonable,” as if I was the one being difficult. The entitlement was overwhelming, and I could feel the eyes of other passengers on us.
Rather than escalate the situation, I decided to avoid a confrontation. With as much calm as I could muster, I handed over my boarding pass and sarcastically wished them well in my seat. The woman snatched the ticket from my hand with a muttered insult, while her husband smirked, clearly feeling victorious. But as I walked away, my irritation grew—and so did my resolve to turn this situation around.
As I reached the middle seat in row 12, where I had been relegated, a flight attendant intercepted me. She had witnessed the exchange and informed me that the couple had tricked me out of my seat—they were both supposed to be sitting in row 12. The revelation was infuriating, but I wasn’t about to let them get away with it.
I smiled at the flight attendant and assured her that I had a plan. While the middle seat wasn’t as comfortable as the premium one I had given up, I knew it would be worth it. I decided to let the couple think they had won, all the while preparing to turn the tables on them.
About an hour into the flight, once things had settled down, I signaled for the flight attendant and asked to speak with the chief purser. I calmly explained the situation, detailing how the couple had deceived me into switching seats. The purser listened attentively and thanked me for bringing it to her attention, promising to handle it.
A few minutes later, the purser returned with an offer: I could either return to my original seat or be compensated with a significant amount of airline miles—enough to upgrade my next three flights. I chose the miles, knowing they were worth far more than the difference between premium and economy on this flight.
As the flight continued, I noticed activity around row 3, where the couple was seated. The purser, accompanied by another flight attendant, confronted them about their deceit. The look on their faces was priceless as they were informed that their behavior violated airline policy. The purser even mentioned the possibility of them being placed on the no-fly list pending an investigation.
In a desperate attempt to defend herself, the woman blurted out that they weren’t even married—she was his mistress, and they were having an affair. The situation had gone from infuriating to downright bizarre, but I couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction as I watched their smug expressions crumble.
As we landed and I gathered my belongings, I couldn’t resist one last glance at the couple. Their faces were a mix of anger, humiliation, and fear as they faced the consequences of their actions. Meanwhile, I walked through the airport with a sense of triumph, knowing that I had not only stood up to bullies but had also come out ahead.
In my 33 years of life, I’ve learned that sometimes, the best way to get even isn’t to make a scene but to patiently wait for those who think they’ve won to realize just how badly they’ve lost. This experience was a perfect example of that principle in action.
In the end, my encounter with the entitled couple on the plane wasn’t just about a seat—it was about standing up for myself and turning a negative situation into a positive one. By staying calm and thinking strategically, I was able to teach them a lesson they won’t soon forget and walk away with a profit. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the best victories are the ones where you don’t just win—you win on your own terms.
